Strategies of energy democracy. What ownership for a just energy transition? How combat energy poverty?

Workshop in Brussels

02.10.2015 - 03.10.2015

The transition from a nuclear-fossil energy system towards one based on renewables is a globally necessary process. The energy transition however should not be understood as a solely technical process. The aim should be a regenerative, socially just and democratic energy supply. Many experiences have been made to democratize the energy sector at the municipal, regional and national level, such as the struggle for democratic control of the energy utilities of the city of Berlin.

The workshop in Brussels (1–2 October 2015) aimed at exploring strategies how to regain control over energy systems and how to make access to energy more just – two issues often neglected in debates on energy transition.
